The Jogyesa Temple was our first stop on our tour of Seoul that day. As I stepped out of the little mini van, I saw a man sitting on the stairs trying desperately to get something wild, in a plastic bag, under control.
A few minutes later and he managed to pull out the live, mini octopus that had being trying to escape his grasp. I wasn’t prepared for this. And I was even less prepared to see him try and ingest it.
It was when he let the live tentacles squirm around outside his mouth for all the passersby to see, that I decided it was time for a photo.
It’s not the best perspective of this beautiful temple, but at least it stopped my breakfast from making an appearance.
